ABSTRACT:
A system and method for recovering thermal energy from a fuel processing system comprising a fuel processor and a fuel cell stack. The system includes a heat recovery system including a heat exchange fluid that recovers thermal energy from such sources as the combustion exhaust from the fuel processor, the cathode chamber exhaust from the fuel cell stack and/or the fuel cell stack directly.
